It's a new comic strip that's about to premiere tomorrow so I am told. Let's make this thing go viral. biggrin

It's written by a forum spammer (well he spams in the drunk thread on another forums lol) called Big Giant Head which should be enough in itself to sell it to you pack of drunks and layabouts. :P

Nice to see you around Gator, we need more of the female persuasion. 

I thought the strip was funny.  Best wishes to him.

We're Scottish, almost everything is grey and depressing at this time of year.  Wink

Scotland used to be full of Lemmings you know, but they all jumped off a cliff and headed for Norway centuries ago, which gave rise to the legend about their behaviour.
It's a little know fact that the North Sea is strewn with tiny kilts.  Wink

Just spoke to Claire today, she's looking forward to some Texas sunshine.  It hasn't been very sunny here but I think the warmth in itself will turn her around.  I can imagine being under the cloak of darkness y'all speak of, glad I don't have to experience it.  It's bad enough to have to be tied to a computer inside all day.  24C today BTW!

How do you draw them?
Do you use a graphics tablet or something?

Wooster, I draw them by hand, scan them and then colour them in Photoshop.  Have considered a tablet but I do like to have the originals as well so I think I'll stick with how I currently do them.

Keasy, I appreciate where you're coming from but I realise I'm never going to make everyone laugh all of the time, I've had a number of people who did find that strip funny.  The thing with my strip is I'm not trying to be all deep and thought provoking and "Ooh I'm so in touch with the universe", it's simply a 3 panel comic which tries to do nothing more than give people a smile.  These characters are nutters and for the most part idiots so there won't ever be anything too intellectual about them.

That said I appreciate positive feedback whether that be in the form of constructive criticism or whatever. 

Anyway, one thing I have to keep reminding myself is that not everyone is going to like each and every strip I do but hey, so what?  I'll just poke them in the eye and move on!  Take Garfield for example, there were a lot of those strips that I simply glossed over because they weren't funny but sometimes there would be gem in there.  I guess that's my goal, to have a gem once in a while - if I tried for a gem every time I think I may very well go troppo (that's Australian speak for mental).

I take back my initial offendedness (ok I made that word up) but guys, I'm not a miracle worker ok?  Some will be funny, others not so much. I may have been drawing for a while but the jokes are still evolving. 

Consider me out of the sulking corner.  biggrin

Was never a big Garfield fan myself, had a mate who was right into it. The wry expressions were defo better than the jokes.


Anyway, I tip my cap to you for having ten times the talent I have.  Cool
